If you are one of the rare people who has never had any meals with hot peppers, habanero peppers or otherwise, do some small and moderate test meals first. Then, once you have done your testing to make sure you tolerate fresh hot peppers (some people find that they have an adverse reaction to capsaicin - while this is very rare, as always test any new foods with caution), you can explore the different fresh hot peppers available to you and check the amount of benefits of hot peppers diabetes control you see by your own blood glucose testing of your meals. Once you know you see the chili peppers diabetes benefits yourself, you can start to add more hot peppers for more impact, and if your meal is more delicate, add less. Even quite modest amounts of capsaicin help lower blood glucose levels for me.

I use the habanero peppers because they are a great capsaicin source, but I will also mix in other hot peppers like serrano peppes to give different flavors. You can use any of the fresh hot peppers available to you as your source of capsaicin.
